It's a Jolly Holiday with LL. *FINISHED* Final Update on pg. 58.

[If U Had Wings]

I can't understand why they just can't make normal looking clothing cut bigger. Why the difficulties?

 

[Charleston Princess]

I am terrified of roller coasters and rides like ToT. I did go on it back in 1998 with my brother when it dropped once, but have avoided it since. Last year I promised myself a yeti if I rode Everest, so this year I have promised myself the Tower of Terror Clue game if I can do the ride. Sad, that I have to bribe myself!

Hurray for the double digit dance!

for the silly woman's comments. It doesn't mean that you look pregnant; it means that she was just took DF's comment and made a bad inference. Don't give it another thought! She was probably young and stupid, anyway!

 

[TarzansKat]

Let me tell you, those maternity looking tops are all over the place! It seems to be a fashion craze right now to make women look like they're pregnant, and it drives me nuts too. Um, could we design something else that's cute that I could wear to work?

:::thud:::

That's me getting off my soapbox.

AND CONGRATS ON THE DOUBLE DIGITS!!!!!

This post is going to be way Off Topic, you have been warned.

I am very upset. I had an "incident" at Target tonight. DF and I were checking out and we bought a big box of cat litter. I went to lift it up and DF said, "I can do that". I told him I was fine and lifted into the cart. The cashier looks at me and says, "I know what that means, Congratulations." I thought she had seen my engagement ring, that was my only thought because what the heck else would she talking about. I said, "Thank You". Then she goes to me, "Do you know what you are having?" Ugh. I had this blank look on my face or at least it felt that way, I glance at DF whose mouth is gaping open. I look at her and feeling close to tears, I say, "Nope." I was absolutely horrified that she thought I was pregnant, I immediately feel like a fat cow and just want to get the heck out of dodge.
On the way to the car DF assured me I didn't look pregnant, bless him and was curing the ignorance of the lady. I have had this deep fear that people will mistaken me for pregnant. A lot of plus size clothing as that "maternity" feel to it lately, thought tonight I was wearing a zip up hoodie, so go figure, but that is why I have this fear.
I know I am probably overreacting but it still upsets me. Unless I was 100% sure or if someone said something about being pregnant, I would never just assume. DF was upset that the lady thought that I was pregnant just because he wanted to be a "gentleman" and do the heavy lifting as he put it.
Chivalry is dead and LL is going for a walk tomorrow.

Yes, that lady was definitely missing some normal-woman genes. And yeah, those trapeze-style dresses that are in style now (for everyone, whatever their size or shape)--so very unflattering. Every time I put one on, I feel like screaming, "But I do have a waist!" They will have no home in my closet.

I think the only thing I could bribe myself with is another trip to WDW....

You are almost in the single digits!

Thanks! I wish I could have done that thing on the V8 commercial, thunked her forehead and said "you should have had a V8". For some reason I laugh like a mad woman every time this commercial comes on.

Soapbox. That just makes me laugh. I totally agree though, whenever I try clothes on, I do the "baby bump" test.

Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.

I think you should book another WDW trip forthwith -- then, everything will be all better!

I know it -- can you believe how quickly it's happened??? Soon, you will be doing the single digit dance -- it goes so fast!

STOW (Stupid Target Obnoxious Woman) could sure use a thunk on the head!

That's how I am feeling about the wedding right now....can't believe it is almost here, thank goodness!

This is LL bowing down to CP's wittiness (is that a word?)
From here on out, the Target incident/lady will be referred to as STOW.

I was hoping you would like it ! Every so often I have a brief flash of wittiness.

This makes me extremely angry.....

I send you a big gigantic and another

You have every right to be upset and you are not overracting!

That has happened to me before. When I gain weight, I gain it in the belly first and it does make me look a little big, even when I have not gained much, it is very noticable... So I was trying on dresses for a wedding and came out of the dressing room at Dress Barn, and the associate who helped finish zipping me up asked me how far along I was.... I turned to her and asked her to unzip me and I told her I wasn't pregnant and that they lost their sale.

Know that you are not alone with that. And most of all we love you and your DF loves you!!!

Awww. Here's some for you!
In retrospect, I wish I had told STOW that I wasn't but I was just in too much shock that she actually said something.

You know what, I would have been in shock too.

Does anyone know how to make links to your the different "chapters/posts" of your pre-trip report?? I want to make the links on the first page, so it's easier to read and easier for me to remember what I have posted. I have tried and it will just bring me to the page number, on other's trip reports they have linked so it brings up a new web page with just that post on it...anyone? Or if someone could point me in the right direction for the answer, I have tried looking but can't find it.

Thanks!

 

[TarzansKat]

I really feel for people who gain in their stomach area first. Mine is hips, thighs, and butt, then stomach, so I'm very lucky in that. Now, my belly is certainly not in the shape it used to be before pregnancy, but I haven't had the mistaken for pregnant issue. I'm lucky in that I also lose from my waist first, but my mom is the opposite, she gains to her waist first. It's hard for her, and I really feel for you guys.

Sometimes people can be so clueless.

 

[Lady Lallie]

Yup, LL has lists for the resorts.

Pop Century Resort

Slushie Coke(s) --- I will make sure that DF and I toast to the TK Family.

Corny Pictures --- I love photos, they make me happy. I want lots of corny pictures with all the huge Pop Culture icons around the property. Looking at all these types of pictures on tripadvisor and allears is what made me want to stay at Pop, as well as the great reviews of their bus system.

Towel Animals --- I heart towel animals, even though I have never had one. I want them. I really hope that mousekeeping will leave us one...some...many. I know I have no control over this, but I will be using some of those oh so cute tip envelopes to sweeten the pot.

Memory Lane --- I would like to take a stroll down Memory Lane....more pictures as well.

Window --- Yup, I wrote window. I am toying with the idea of decorating my window. Perhaps some LGMH's?? Perhaps not, who knows? I will figure it out.

Swim --- I want to swim! Would you believe that in the 2 1/2 years that DF and I have been together that we have never gone swimming together?! Yikes. This is shocking to me because I love to swim, I used to live for it but have been so busy the last two summers that it just hasn't happened. I plan to rectify this while on the cruise. Hippy Dippy pool here I come. That's just fun to say. Hippy Dippy.

Pressed Pennies --- DF and I have decided after finding a huge 16 page list on the different types of pressed pennies that we would like to start collecting them or at least get a few. The cute DF even went through our coin jar and picked out the pre-1982 ones, because we read those ones press better. We want to get all of the penny offerings at both resorts we are staying at for a little trip memento.

After typing this out, it doesn't seem that involved but then again once you get to back from the parks, I think it's more about recovery and relaxation.

Okay, hopefully I will be able to walk you through it.

If you click on the post number of your update, it will open it in a separate window. Then, click on the post number again (I think a right click) and choose copy shortcut. Then, you can hyperlink it into your first post.

If you don't know how to hyperlink, let me know.

I hope this works!
